Big Horn Sheep Count Continues

Despite the death of its long-time leader, Ranger Steve Bier, the 47th annual Anza Borrego bighorn sheep count is set for June 29th through July 1st.

“We were unable to find the master sheep count mailing list,” states a letter from Anza Borrego Desert State Park Superintendent Kathy Dice and volunteer Sheep County Coordinator Mark Jorgensen, who are organizing a new sheep counting team. If you know of counters, please forward their contact information to AB.Sheepcount@parks.ca.gov.

A mandatory orientation will be held on June 17th for all new counters and recommended for those who have participated over the past years.
